The stock market to-day was less active, but
prices, after a buoyant opening, advanced
steadily to the close. The news of the day was
almost entirely of a favorable nature. The fea-
ture of the news were the settlement of the
trunk line trouble and Western Unions dividend
of IA per cent. There was an urgent demand
from foreigners in the early trading, which sur
prised the bears, and their operations for most
of the day were confined to attempts to cover
their outstanding contracts, which, even after
the cessation of the outside demand, kept the
market firln'and advancing for the remainder
of the day. Reading and Lackawanna were the
features of the morning hour, the crowd in the
former being so large that sales were made at
the opening "a per cent apart. Buying in these
stocks is said to be largely for inside parties
The only important resistance to the improve
ment was from the Chicago party, while Mr..

pal part in the late depression, though he denies
it, was to-day DeneVeu 10 De, Win Ine ola pun

Union Pacific was still one of the prime favorites,
and Richmond and West Point while less active
than usual of late, was strong, notwith-
standing the refusal Of certain gentlemen
TO serve on the board of directors. The
Manhattan again advanced on a dividend. Fort
Worth and Denver, on the strength of it's very
favorable annual report was strong. There
was very little bear news circulated, and there
was more outside buying than has been noticed
for some time. The opening was very strong at
advances extending to "a per cent, and on active
trading further gains We're made, though there
was NJ marked movement except in a few
specialiies. The volume Of business suffered a

How Umbrellas are Made.

Notwithstanding the constant demand
for umbrellas, comparatively few people
really know how they are made. The
so-called umbrella manufacturer does
little more than put the different parts
of the umbrella together. He buys the
sticks, the caps, the ferrules and the
steels ready made. The covering he
buys by the piece, and it is the cutting
and fitting of the covering which con-
stitutes his chief claim to the title of
manufacturer.
The cloth is first hemmed; that is, the
edges are bound, usually with thin
silk cord. The cloth is then given to the
cutter, who separates it into triangular
pieces. Much care is used in cutting
the cloth, and for his guidance the cutter
employs triangular tool very much like
a carpenters compass, the size of which
can be varied to suit the demands of
the about-to- be umbrella. The triangles
of cloth are then sewed together by ma
chinery and stretched over and tied
upon the frame. The caps and ferrules
are fitted upon the sticks and the UNI
brela is then ready to protect unfortu-
nate humanity from the dew-drops of
heaven or the drizzlc of New York.
But, although nearly every one owhS
umbrella, there ale but few manufac-
turcrs in this country, and the majority
or these are in New York and Philadel-
phia. There are about fifteen factories
here, and nearly the same number III

Bean-Bag Parties.

Bean-bag parties are all the rage in
Washington, and society bellies arc be-
coming very expert at the new game. At
one end of the parlor or hall is placed an
inclined board with square hole in it.
Standing at the other end-and the
further away from the board the more
fun there is in the amc--the plspers
pitch ten bean bags towards the hole. A
regular score is kept, and if the ten bags
fall in the hole it counts 100, or ten for
each bag. Another bag, double the
usua size, is also provided, and if this
alsdfs thrown into the square opening it
adds twenty, making 120 the highest
possible score. Should any of the bags
remain on the board they count five
points apiece, but for every bag that is
thrown upon or falls to the floor live
points arc subtracted. The big bag, or
Jumbo, counts double, or ten in each
case. Many young society ladies have
become quite expert at pitching the little
bags, and show excellent judgment and
skill in accurately gauging the distance
and the strength necessary to be cxerted.
In most cases the bags are made of gayly
cclored ticking, Jumbo being individual
lied by material of a different pattern,
but few young ladies have taken pains
to have handsomely embroidered recep-
tacles for the beans. The board is gener-
ally of plain wood, polished, about 2
feet wide and feet long and or ten
10 inches high at its grcate-t distance
from the ground. The hole is about
inches square and the small CT bags little
larger. "Jumbo' contains pint of
beans and the other bags half that guam
tity. In many houses where the game is
played handsome prizes are awarded to
those making the highest scores. The
sport is full of interest and bean-bag
oa ds arc now found in every household
which expects to be considered up to
the times Washington Pest.
